How do *you* deal with imposter syndrome?

I try to reframe my perspective. Everyone's going to have a different experience in how they started doing what they do, how they learn, how they go through life. If I open myself to going in asking "What can I learn from the folks around me and this challenge?" the worst that can happen is I learn.

I don’t. 🫣 it’s just always present.

Same. And I start more side projects doing things I don’t know which usually ends up with more unfinished side projects which gives me more imposter syndrome. So it’s actually just a circle.

3 steps process:

1. Acknowledge the feeling of self doubt

2. Accept that it could be true and face it. I asked "if I'm not as good as them, then what? Do I have to be as good to do what I'm doing?"

3. Do something. The more I do, the less head space to doubt myself.

I look at the code that’s been there since before I joined and tell myself if it was fine for them, then I’m fine

I try to share my knowledge with the community. Through the feedback I get, I realize that my feeling of being an imposter might not be valid. It takes time and constant reminding but it helps me

I like to ask advice from the devs I look up to, and one of the most common things I hear is that imposter syndrome never goes away. So for me being relatively new at this vs them who are sometimes 10+ years in, I accept and understand it as part of the process. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
